Z1 Energy – Benefits at a glance

Automated handling of certificates – yours and those of your market partners

Zertificon is a specialist in automated certificate management for email, AS4 and EMT.API certificates. Z1 Energy handles the entire lifecycle of certificates: from procuring and managing your own certificates to searching for the certificates of your market partners.

Cost-effective alternative to HSM: Z1 Cryptographic Module

The Z1 Cryptographic Module generates, stores and uses the private keys in a cryptographically protected area. As a passive external market participant, you are not required to use an HSM under the Smart Metering PKI guidelines. Our Z1 Cryptographic Module, which complies with Security Level 1, is an affordable alternative to an HSM.

Flexible integration of business applications

Z1 Energy can be easily integrated into your business applications (ERP, B2B) via a REST API or an email interface. You can flexibly choose which interface to use for each internal market partner. Using different applications for different market processes? Z1 Energy integrates them all.

Clear and structured clearing case management

If messages cannot be processed correctly – due to outdated algorithms or technical issues of your communication partners – they are logged as a clearing case. Depending on the Z1 Energy ERP Adapter you use (Email or REST), cases are routed to a dedicated inbox or transferred directly into your system. This enables you to process cases in a structured and transparent manner.
